Background & Objective: Although Pinus eldarica is considered as a pine with many valuable phytochemical constituents, little is known about the pharmacological effects of its bark extract. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate in vivo antioxidant activity and also the possible beneficial effects of the bark extract of P. eldarica on dexamethasone-induced dyslipidemia in rats. Materia...

several attempts have so far been made in the search of new anticancer agents of plant origin. some studies have reported that different species of pine genus possess cytotoxic activities against various cancer cell lines. in the present study, we evaluated the cytotoxic effects of pinus eldarica bark and leaf extracts or leaf essential oil on hela and mcf-7 tumor cell lines. hydroalcoholic and...

Background: Cisplatin has cytotoxic effects through free radical generation. Reports indicate that various members of Pinaceae family may have antioxidant properties. In this study we investigated the cytoprotective needle volatile oil and bark extract Pinus eldarica in Hepatoma G2 (HepG2) cell line. Methods: Using maceration technique, obtained ethanolic eldarica’s (BHAEPE). Folin-ciocalteu re...

conclusions pine trees can be used as a worthy bio-indicator for hms pollution monitoring in the ambient air in areas with extensive vegetation of pine trees. results iron had the highest concentration (345.0053 mg/kg) in leaves when compared with other hms. the concentration of zn, cu, pb and cd were 26.1384, 5.5905, 2.9963 and 0.7383 mg/kg, respectively. spatial mapping indicated that industr...
